  • [comment u/tuctrohs] If you decide to replace the !receptacle - and that's one of the kind that is dangerous for EV charging that you've got there - don't just get any random "EV rated" one, but specifically get a Hubbell or Bryant model 9450.

  • [comment u/tuctrohs] There's no control over calling something EV rated even when it's not

  • “The discoloration on that outlet is from overheating. You should replace the outlet with an EV rated outlet.”

  • “We definitely recommending hardwiring all charges. The industry now has EV rated ones for this specific problem. We’ve seen two burnt up non EV rated 14-50s in the field. What size wire was used?”

  • “In addition to hard wiring it, you'd then be free to replace that gfci breaker with a standard one. My guess is that the breaker is getting tired, and the two charges have different inrush.”
